People will argue that’s art not design! But think about it — people back then were communicating to an audience, leaving an important message about how they lived and how it make it in the world. In a round about way, I completely agree that really good, well thoughtout design does not evolve on a computer screen. My typography skills came from drawing out headlines. My drawing and ideas get better when I use paper and pen (or pencil) before I go near my Mac. I think solving a design problem or coming to the strongest solution actually can be done quicker using pen and paper — even more fun when you’re teaming up with others in a brainstorming session. There are so many really cool drawing books for doodling out design thoughts, it should be as cool as having an iPad.
